A back-illuminated structure minimizes the degradation of sensitivity to the optical angle response, while also increasing the amount of light that enters each pixel due to the lack of obstacles such as metal wiring and transistors. These components have been moved to the back-side of the silicon substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUSB3.0, DDR3 Buffer \u0026amp; Amp Glow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2766\/files\/2600_P_Connection_to_Ports.jpg?v=1758652752\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2766\/files\/2600_DDR3.jpg?v=1758652752\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith features like USB 3.0 and 256MB DDR3 buffer, the ASI2600MM Pro provides stable and secure data transmission that can effectively avoid frame-dropping issues during long exposures. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eTraditional CMOS sensors produce a weak infrared light source during operation quite often seen in the corner of uncalibrated images as the tell tale signs of ‘amp glow’.
